We Eat Ham and Jam and Spam a Lot Thursday, March 03, 2005

I am going to see a preview of the new Monty Python Broadway show, Spamalot tomorrow. The tickets are sold out on the weekends through July, but I managed to luck out and find great seats for this weekend, so I decided to jump on it. So, to express my joy, I offer the following:

We're knights of the Round Table We dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes With footwork impec-cable We dine well here in Camelot We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot. We're knights of the Round Table Our shows are for-mi-dable But many times we're given rhymes That are quite un-sing-able We're opera mad in Camelot We sing from the diaphragm a lot. In war we're tough and able Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable. Between our quests we sequin vests And impersonate Clark Gable It's a busy life in Camelot I have to push the pram a lot. —Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail

Oh... and I stumbled across "All Too Flat" while looking for Monty Python information (the name is an obscure reference to a fish sketch). The scientist trading cards are awesome. I may just buy a set as a tribute to sheer geekiness.
